Division 2 uses which symbol to contain the number 2?

• A. Octagon
• B. X
• C. Diamond
• D. Circle

Answer: (B)

Division numbers identify subdivisions within a hazard class, and in many HazMat training visuals the division indicator is placed inside a distinctive symbol to make it stand out. For Division 2, the number is shown inside a cross‑shaped boundary, the X. That X serves as the container for the number, signaling this is Division 2 material and helping responders distinguish it from other divisions. The other shapes—octagon, diamond, circle—are used in different placard or symbol contexts and do not carry the division number in this convention, so they aren’t the correct choice here.
